Almasty
When I was a child, both tender and mild
Just five years old with a fire so wild
My innocence was taken; my whole world was shaken
It was a just a dream son, I think you're mistaken
The fire in me changed, I felt so deranged
My once happy visage now covered in shame
And Little Brother was there, too young to remember
Forcibly changed on a morning in December
Close your eyes dear
Rest safe, have no fear
I will protect you, son
Daddy's right here
Hear what I say
Just drift away
Wake in the morning, embrace the new day
Turn to the next page: Personified Rage
Trapped by my memories, no escape from this cage
Roiling in my anger, I'm red-lined, in danger
These lines on my face make me look like a stranger
I keep myself distracted. I stay away retracted
I know what I've done, I can't change how I've acted
And it haunts me each day. It never goes away
Why can't I find some peace here? How long will I pay
Rest your head son
Your struggle is done
You did your best child
No matter who won
Hear what I say
Just drift away
Wake in the morning, embrace the new day
This hatred inside of me is taking control
Eating my heart away, blackening my soul
My walking dead countenance, my heart in a vice
Everything is shit to me, but I try to play nice
I've gotta get it back together for the sake of my own
Cause if I give in then they win and he's left all alone
But this looming fear of failure cripples me with fright
Gotta learn to slough the bullshit. Gotta learn to see the light
Close your eyes dear
Rest safe, have no fear
I will protect you, son
Daddy's right here
Hear what I say
Just drift away
Wake in the morning, embrace the new day
So just close your eyes dear
Rest safe, have no fear
If I can't protect you, son
Why am I here
And when my mind breaks
This life it will take
Protect yourself from this hell for your own sake
Just five years old with a fire so wild
My innocence was taken; my whole world was shaken
It was a just a dream son, I think you're mistaken
The fire in me changed, I felt so deranged
My once happy visage now covered in shame
And Little Brother was there, too young to remember
Forcibly changed on a morning in December
Close your eyes dear
Rest safe, have no fear
I will protect you, son
Daddy's right here
Hear what I say
Just drift away
Wake in the morning, embrace the new day
Turn to the next page: Personified Rage
Trapped by my memories, no escape from this cage
Roiling in my anger, I'm red-lined, in danger
These lines on my face make me look like a stranger
I keep myself distracted. I stay away retracted
I know what I've done, I can't change how I've acted
And it haunts me each day. It never goes away
Why can't I find some peace here? How long will I pay
Rest your head son
Your struggle is done
You did your best child
No matter who won
Hear what I say
Just drift away
Wake in the morning, embrace the new day
This hatred inside of me is taking control
Eating my heart away, blackening my soul
My walking dead countenance, my heart in a vice
Everything is shit to me, but I try to play nice
I've gotta get it back together for the sake of my own

But this looming fear of failure cripples me with fright
Gotta learn to slough the bullshit. Gotta learn to see the light
Close your eyes dear
Rest safe, have no fear
I will protect you, son
Daddy's right here
Hear what I say
Just drift away
Wake in the morning, embrace the new day
So just close your eyes dear
Rest safe, have no fear
If I can't protect you, son
Why am I here
And when my mind breaks
This life it will take
Protect yourself from this hell for your own sake
